"Hey guys. My name is Shallon and I'm here to help you with all the questions you might have about love, lust, romance, and everything in between. For more, visit me on twitter @downtownshallon or be sure to check out my website shallononline.com. Boys, I know that sometimes girls can seem like really complicated creatures, but we are not. Women want two main things, we want to be complimented and we want to know that you're listening to us. And these are prime ways to flirt with a girl Number one, make eye contact with her. If you're shifty and looking around she's not really going to take you seriously, but a few seconds with sustained eye contact, maybe three seconds, and then smile and look away then look back...Still gets me even at this age, of 17, that's how old I am. Also, make sure you compliment her, but make it sincere. Don't be like, nice ass, don't do that. Say, Oh Jenna, I really like your dress, looks good on you. Again, even at this age that blows me away. Something sincere shows that you're paying attention to her. Also, bring up something that she might have mentioned before, Hey Jenna, how was your lacrosse game? Did you guys win? It shows that you're listening to her. This makes her think that you're taking an interest in her life, and that's what women really want. Maybe give her a little sweet touch, not on the fanny, not on the panty. Touch her elbow gently as you're talking to her, as you're walking away, not a punch in the elbow either, that's a little too bro, so a nice sweet gentle touch, a compliment, and something that shows that you're listening to her. The three main things you need to flirt with a girl, and be successful.
